Air-drop hammer press and counterblow hammer press are widely used power-drop forging hammersemploying different forging blow mechanisms. It is important and necessary to analyze mechanical vibrations of these two different hammers in their forging processes in order to develop high performance forging hammers. In this study, these two forging hammers were mathematically modelled as mass-spring-damper systems. For these two different types of forging hammers, the forging efficiency and mechanical vibrations due to hammer forging blow were theoretically analyzed and compared. The force transmitted to the ground was also determined and compared. Especially, effects of mass ratio and restitution coefficient on forging efficiency were investigated.

Copper blow test to measure the forging capability of 35 ton counterblow hammer and upset of plasticine on the model hammer to investigate the change of the blow efficiency during the forging process have been performed together with finite element analyses of these experiments. The blow efficiency of the hammer has been found to be dependent on the friction and on the contact area between the die and the workpiece. The effects of the volume and the aspect ratio of the billet have not been found. Inferring from the experimental results and Schey's empirical formula on the forging load, we expect that the efficiency also varies with the flow stress of the workpiece material and with the shape complexity of the forging product.

The Ν-value in the standard penetration test(SPT) is affected by the magnitude of the rod penetration energy transmitted from the falling hammer as well as the geotechnical characteristics of the ground. Understanding of the striking energy efficiency in the SPT equipment is getting important for that reason. The energy efficiencies of the doughnut hammer with the hydraulic lift system and the automatic trip hammer system were investigated through field tests using the instrumented rod and wave-signal acquisition systems including the pile driving analyzer(PDA) . The rod energy ratio, ΕR$\_$r/ was defined as the ratio of the energy delivered to the drilling rod to the potential free-fall energy of the hammer. It appears that the type of the hammer and lift/drop system had a strong influence on the energy transfer mechanism and ΕR$\_$r/ also varies according to the energy instrumentation system and the analysis methods.

SPT hammer energy and its delivery are hon to influence the N value. The SPT hammer energy is classified into theoretical energy, velocity energy, rod energy and dynamic efficiency. In this study, the rod energy and the velocity energy are measured directly by PDA and Digital Line-Scan Camera which are most widely used type of SPT apparatus in Korea. The Dynamic efficiency is calculated through measured data. As the results of this study, the averages of rod energy ratio of donut, safety and automatic hammer are measured at 49.57, 61.60, and at $87.04\%$ by FV method. The averages of hammer velocity of donut, safety and automatic hammer are measured at $3.177{\pm}0.872$, $3.385{\pm}0.681$, and at $3.651{\pm}0.550$ m/s by Digital Line-Scan Camera, with the dynamic efficiencies at 0.732, 0.801, and 0.973 respectively.

The vibration characteristics of a hammer press are important parameters for machine design and production control. In this study, a counterblow hammer press was mathematically modelled as a mass-spring-damper system in order to analyze its vibration characteristics. The forging efficiency was theoretically derived as a function of the mass ratio, momentum ratio, and the coefficient of restitution And the effects of the mass ratio, momentum ratio and the restitution coefficient on the forging efficiency were also investigated for two particular cases of the unit mass ratio and unit momentum ratio. Additionally, the vibration responses of the counterblow hammer press due to the ram colliding impact were analyzed, and the force transmitted to the foundation through the mounting unit was determined.

In Kwangjin industrial company, mill is operating for the foundry sand production at the rate of 25t/hr from quartzite. Foundry sands fall into four distinct categories: silica sand, lake sand, bank sand, and natural molding sand. Silica sand is a general term used to describe crushed, washed, graded, dried, and cooled clay-free sands. This study was conducted for the investigation of the foundry sand productivity and the life span of the hammer according to the material quality. The life time of hammer from several manufacturer were compared in order to find out the grinding efficiency of the various hammer material. In the result of tests, the life time of high-Mn hammer was 10.5 hours while that of high-Cr was 19.5 hours. The life time in case of typical worn shape hammers was about 12 hours and the average time of a blowhole hammer was about 6.5 hours.

Because of simplicity and easiness, dynamic pile driving formulae have long been used by most of the field engineers for pile quality control purposes. Yet their reliability have been repeatedly reported unsuitable and the results can lead to significant errors. According to the research results by the authors, the two most important sources of unreliability of dynamic pile driving formulae are uncertainty in the estimation of hammer efficiency and time dependent characteristics of pile bearing capacity. Based on this finding a new method is proposed. By using the actual value of hammer efficiency the pile bearing capacity at the time of driving could be reasonably estimated. By performing restrike test sometime after pile installation, time effect coefficient could be determined. The effectiveness of the proposed method was proven in the actual construction project.

Research and development of mineral-resource-related products has progressed with the increased need to develop mineral resources. The DTH hammer is a resultant product. However, owing to particular work conditions of underground drilling, it is difficult to obtain direct data on the DTH hammer. A DTH drill rig requires a significant amount of money and time for actual testing. This thesis aimed to resolve this problem by using CAE. In a previous paper, the structure of the DTH hammer and its movement were analyzed, and a standard model based on simulation was proposed. Then, experimentation and comparison verification were conducted. In this paper, by using an experimental design method, we derived a control factor of the impact force and efficiency of the DTH hammer and attempted to optimize the design. As a result, the impact energy increased by 14.9%, and the efficiency increased by 3.3%.

In this paper, three-dimensional finite element approach to determining the number of blows in hammer forging is presented. Energy efficiency which is a major factor affecting the number of blows in hammer forging is assumed to decrease linearly as die-material contact area increases. The approach is applied to predicting the number of blows in counterblow hammer forging of large crank shaft for medium sized ship engine.
